It's not as simple as that. MOCA also interferes with satellite TV. HomePlug AV is very susceptible to electrical noise. Turning a ceiling fan on can bring an acceptable connection to its knees destroying the performance. There are also two other non-compatible powerline home networking standards in the world. There's a reason the large telcos in North America chose HPNA (aka HomePNA) and MOCA over HomePlug. About the only safe medium is, dare I say it, phone wire, which may not be convenient.

You totally missed my point. Of course cable is better that powerline for service provider HANs. I was talking retail market which cable is a problem for end-users("I plug what where? and "it does not got here I need it").

Bright-boy is right for the three people (and decreasing) who are using satellite to get their TV, MoCA, might, cause problems. HPNA cause problems in 70% of the homes in the US with Internet.

Sarcasm is no substitute for knowledge. Satellite has a significant market share and unfounded statements about HPNA would definitely surprise AT&T with millions deployed. Do some research. Maybe you'll be bright like me.
